We had the previous model (SS15) which we were pleased with for years. Decided to get the newer model and love it too. Great to have the Pod have more ounce selection, plus the raised cup shelf. The carafe and Pod both give the true measure of ounces, which the last model didn’t and brews faster. Very happy with this coffee maker.

I always trust the Cuisinart brand for kitchen appliances. We've had several Cuisinart coffeemakers and this is a replacement of a model that brews both k-cup and 12-cup carafe. This one adds an option for ice coffee, which we haven't used yet. Frankly, I wish we could ditch the need for k-cup, but our household includes both full-caf and decaf drinkers. Pros: nice looking; small footprint for what it offers; strong brew option; trusted brand; includes charcoal and gold tone filters. Cons: k-cup side needs to brew at higher temp; carafe can leak while pouring; when carafe is on the warming plate, it's too easy to accidentally turn off warming plate to brew a k-cup (I've searched online for support to address this with no luck).

This coffee maker is replacing our second Keurig that has quit working. It's really nice to wake up to a pot of fresh brewed coffee. I'm also very happy that the K-Cup option makes a hot cup of coffee, much better than the Keurig did for us. Love the bold option as well.

I've had 3-4 Keurig's before this Cuisinart and wish I had bought the Cuisinart years ago. This coffee maker is great. The single cup lets you choose 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 oz while the coffee carafe side allows for making ice coffee (although that just means you put ice in the carafe and then choose how many cups of coffee you want to drip into the ice). Well worth the cost!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I requested this coffee maker as a gift from my daughters for my birthday. I LOVE it! It is easy to use and makes excellent coffee with an option for bold. I also really like having the option of pot or single cup.

I purchased this coffee maker last fall and waited almost to the holidays for it to arrive. I really liked the dual design and how it looked. Within 2 months the coffee pod side stopped pumping water so, I returned it. I figured I got a dud so I ordered the same coffee maker. Two months in and yes, the water stopped pumping on the carafe side. Now I’m convinced this $180 coffee maker has a serious defect.

We made 3 pots of coffee and 4 single cups and then the coffee maker stopped working. The lights would light, we carefully went over the manual, we went online looking for troubleshooting guidance...no matter what we could never get the coffee maker to work again.

This is a really good coffee maker and my third Cuisinart over the last 12 years. But, on this model they went from a 14 cup carafe to a 12 cup carafe, which was a little disappointing. Also, if Cuisinart reads these reviews, please start selling replacement parts, like heating elements.

I absolutely love my Cuisinart 2-in-1 Coffee Maker. I can use pods or fill in my own to make a 4 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz, or 12 oz cup. I can also use the carafe to make a pitcher of coffee. The best thing is that it does not have an internal water reservoir.

There's much to like and on balance we're very happy with the maker. Could be better with a differently designed means of filling the coffee maker's reservoir as the filter holder is in the way when pouring to fill. Also, the ability to brew a pot and simultaneously make a K-cup while brewing would be great.
